In the past political struggle, Li Xiang has also seen the strength of the forces of all parties, compared with them, even if he is a reborn, but in the face of their huge power in the court, Li Xiang is also a little helpless, it is too difficult to shake them.

However, Fang Xuanling's words also pointed out the goal to Li Xiang, although the forces of all parties are strong now, but the biggest is Li Shimin, as long as Li Shimin's task is completed, then no matter how many enemies he has, at least he can be invincible.

When Li Xiang raised his head again, there was already a light in his eyes, and he knew what he should do next, so as not to lose his way in such chaos.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Xiang returned to the East Palace.

The two girls, Mengling and Mengqin, were already waiting for Li Xiang, and Li Xiang had given these two girls a task before, that is, to receive visitors from various families and see how many people still wanted to buy knives.

"Are there so many rich people in Chang'an City?"

Looking at the list recorded in his hand, Li Xiang said with some incredulity, you must know that this is a knife of 3,500 yuan, if this money is placed in a small place, it is very likely that he will already be the richest man in the local area.

Even in Chang'an City, it is not so easy to come up with such a sum of money, and Wei Chi Baolin's savings for so many years are less than four thousand.

"Your Highness, there are some things that can't just look at the surface, if you look at the surface income, it is estimated that the major families can't afford it, but if you look at their secret income, you have to calculate it well."

Miss Mengling is a person trained by the eldest grandson queen, and naturally knows the major families in Chang'an City very well, on the surface, the income is not much, but in fact, the life of each family is very luxurious, after all, each family has its own way to make money.

Although the officialdom during the Zhenguan period was relatively honest, but the way outside the officialdom is not easy to say, each family has merchants who are attached to them, and every year these merchants will pay a large amount of silver, if you don't rely on one or two court dignitaries, then you can't do this business at all.

There used to be such businessmen in the East Palace, but Li Chengqian had exploited them too much, and now they are all bankrupt, not to mention paying money to the East Palace, whether they can eat or not is a problem.

"Did you give them a receipt as I requested?"

Li Xiang also knows that the major families have their own ways to make money, but we don't want to know, you find a way to make money, I want to find a way to make your money, this is the relationship between us.

"When I go back to His Highness, all those who have registered have paid a deposit of five hundred yuan, and the rest will be paid in one lump sum when the knife is handed over."

Miss Mengling had a bunch of receipts in her hand, which meant that these people had paid five hundred yuan.

"From this time on, people in the future will not take it."

Li Xiang has calculated that there are a lot of people who have sold it, and it seems that he has misunderstood the wealth of Chang'an City, since this is the case, then he has to cut the leeks again, and it is impossible to have three thousand five hundred yuan.

"Then we won't earn this money?"

Miss Mengling said with some worry, these two people were given down from the palace, which means that they will follow Li Xiang for a lifetime, and a knife can be sold for so much money, which has never been seen before, if His Royal Highness doesn't do it, wouldn't it be equivalent to cutting off a financial route? Today, after a whole day's work, I received more than 60 deposits.

"You are too real, can our Highness not earn this money? If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid your Highness will have to change the way of sales, just like that liquor, there will be a limit. ”

Miss Mengqin said with a smile, Li Xiang also saw that Miss Mengling was more realistic, and Miss Mengqin was eccentric, but her loyalty to herself was undoubted.

When these two girls first came, Li Xiang had already sent someone to keep an eye on them, and after these days of staring, they also found that these two girls did not have any form of infidelity.

"You little clever ghost, all of them have been seen by you, let's stop for a while, and a message will be released later, because the raw materials are exhausted, we have to supply a limited amount every month, according to ten handfuls per month, if anyone wants to buy it, then they have to come up with more money."

Li Xiang knew that there were still many people who asked for knives, but they couldn't make up the money for the time being, not that these people didn't have money, but their money was pressed in other places, since this is the case, then I will give you a period of time to make up the money.

"Anything else? Take advantage of the time you have today to deal with it all. ”

Li Xiang asked Mengqin to put away all the documents on the table.

"If you go back to Your Highness, the head of our Zhuangzi has arrived, just waiting for you to meet, there are seventeen in total."

After hearing this number, Li Xiang was still surprised, in addition to the batch of farms he got later, the East Palace itself also has them, and those farms are not allowed to be bought and sold, so no matter how much Li Chengqian messes around, those fields are still his.

"Go and call them all out into the yard."

Nowadays, Datang is an agricultural country, and grain production can be said to be very important, Li Xiang calculated the land in his hand before, plus the recent purchase, there are tens of thousands of acres of land in his hand, and the new seeds have come down, and it is about to be the farming season, Li Xiang has to arrange it first.

"Greetings to Your Highness."

After a cup of tea, Li Xiang came to the courtyard of the front hall accompanied by the two girls, and more than a dozen village heads kowtowed to Li Xiang, looking in good spirits.

These people are all old people who serve the crops, otherwise they are not qualified to manage the farm for the East Palace, many people are sons inherit their father's business, some people come to the East Palace many times to report the harvest, and some people are the first time, these people are the head of the farm that Li Xiang bought newly.

Among these people, two people are the leader, one is Tian Kui, the head of the East Palace Imperial Village, who controls some of the granges given by the Imperial Palace.

The other one is Zhang Xifa, who has the largest grange in his hand, which Li Xiang also got from the hands of Li Yuanchang, the king of the Han Dynasty, to put it bluntly, this guy turned out to be Li Yuanchang's subordinate.

"I won't say much more, I will ask you to bring back the seeds, and when the grain is harvested this season, I will plant my new grain immediately, and I will let people tell you how to plant and when to plant, and your task is to listen to them."

After Li Xiang's words were finished, everyone present couldn't believe their ears, will His Highness be able to farm?
